Visions of Nature in Paint and Clay: A Retreat on the Gunflint Trail
With Rev. Peggy Thompson and Sister Virginia Matter, OSB
July 7 - 14, 2018
God the Creator has infused the world with a spirit of life and vitality, leading us to wonder and calling us to ever greater attention. Artists know this sense of wonder and practice sharpening their skills of attention so that they, too, might communicate God’s presence through their mediums. Steal away to Northern Minnesota and join potter Virginia Matter and painter Peggy Thompson for a soulful experience of nature and hands-on forms of reflection. The week-long experience takes place at Peggy’s family cabin, nestled between lakes 45 minutes outside of Grand Marais.
